switchyard-codebase-exploration

switchyard-codebase-exploration is a Codebase mapping & onboarding skill for AI agents, published by NVIDIA-NeMo in the Switchyard repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates switchyard-codebase-exploration D (61/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use when modifying, debugging, reviewing, refactoring, renaming, restructuring, or planning any Switchyard change — even if the user only names a symptom, test failure, CLI flag, endpoint, model route, or file path. Triggers on phrases like "fix this bug", "why is X failing", "where does Y live", "add a new profile", "rename X to Y", "refactor this", "explain how X works", or any request that will touch `switchyard/`, `tests/`, or `examples/`. Forces a fresh impact map before editing so agents do not edit from stale memory, and routes the agent to the matching workstream skill (`switchyard-lib-core`, `switchyard-coding-agent-launchers`, `switchyard-testing-ci`) before reading source.
